Hello,
Getting rid of the wife's daily driver. We picked up a low mileage GTI of similar vintage and smaller turbo engine to replace it. Posting at $6000 on the 914world. Gettin' a bit low on cash these days. . . isn't everyone? Well optioned car: 89,000 miles on the odo Silver grey leather interior in dash CD and tape player heated seats 6 speed manual VR6 Salvage title We purchased this car I believe around 30,000 miles and have fed it mobile 1 and premium fuel. It drives very smoothly and is mechanically very solid. It is stock (well, with the exception of the tail light lenses which are '04 because my VW guy had them laying around, and I thought the clear signals looked nice). This car had light front end damage before we purchased it and was my VW mechanic's personal vehicle prior to us picking it up. My family has purchased lots of cars through the years from him and this particular VW has treated us very well for the last 60,000 miles. cosmetically, the car is decent, but by no means perfect and has paint chips on the front hood. Just smogged yesterday, and this car is ready to go. these photos are not retouched, and I snapped them last night. You can see the chips on the front hood and scrape on the bumper on these.

I'd love to help, but I'm kinda in a similar boat and the last thing I need is another car.
But I gotta say... ...those are damn cool pics! Did you take those yourself? |

Did you take those yourself? Well, hoping someone out there needs another car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I was bummed because I wanted to take a picture at dusk, but I was smogging the car and washing it, and then, it was black outside. This was my first attempt to light a car with strobes, and I have a looong way to go compared to the real pros, but I'm glad I got something decent. Certainly good enough for a craigslist ad. I'm game for practicing on other more meaningful cars. . . no guarantees of success though. |

Life post grad school is fine thanks. Spending time with the kids is worthwhile and fun. In my free time, I've been tinkering with a 2.0 engine that needs to be rebuilt. Our racing program depends on the budget this year... we'll see.
Take care! QUOTE(chunger @ Feb 4 2009, 03:20 PM) QUOTE(Rob Ways @ Feb 4 2009, 03:10 PM) Hey Chunger! Hope you are doing well! Rob Hey Rob, How goes life post-school? Heard you were racing again. |

QUOTE(orange914 @ Feb 11 2009, 08:25 PM) what options does it have? are there any noticable or known problems related to the salvaged title (or not)? mike Hello, This is not the TDI motor. The engine is VW's a 2.8 liter VR6. It is a 4 valve per cylinder variable timing motor 200 hp @ 6200 RPM and 181 ft. lbs at 3600 RPM. . . and pretty torquey throughout. The 6 speed manual transmission it's hooked up to is fun as well. The car is fun in a straight line and drives very quiet and smooth (sortof luxury-ish), but is not a light car and doesn't corner nearly as well as say, a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We averaged around 22 mpg on this car, and it gets about 26 when doing highway miles on a road trip, so I wouldn't call it an economy car. One of the reasons we switched over to our current car (1.8 turbo GTI) is better fuel economy when on the highway. Salvaged title means this car was written off as a total loss by insurance. This particular car was in a minor front end crash. Radiator, bumper, hood, and a fender were replaced. We purchased it at 30,000 miles. There are salvaged title vehicles that have been mauled and ones that were never crashed. This one was lightly damaged. In our experience, this car has been mechanically sound and although we've had to perform routine maintenance on some wear items like water pump, CV boot, a water hose, etc. At any rate, come take a look and take it for a spin if you're interested. I'm in the East Bay near Berkeley. |

options:
Heated leather seats electric windows moon roof manually adjusted seats in-dash CD and tape player leather steering wheel A/C standard VW power locks and alarm w/ 2 keys/remotes and 1 standard key 17" rims which make for expensive tires. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. |
